He tweeted a hype video to social media on Monday with the caption “Been through a long road of hard aching pain.” The video showed a compilation of Tagovailoa’s plays from the 2018 season, which consisted of him tossing for 3,966 yards and 43 touchdowns to six interceptions.

The native Hawaiian holds both single-season school marks for passing yards and total touchdowns (48), while finishing last year as a Heisman finalist. He returns as a player with something to prove and an individual that’s hunting for a national title as a starter.

Aside from Damien Harris, Josh Jacobs and Irv Smith Jr., the Tide returns all its wide receivers for the upcoming season. Spring practice is a few weeks away and fans are ready to see Tagovailoa bounce back.
